Key Product Benefits
What this part does
The rear shock absorber is a suspension damper. It works with the vehicle’s separate rear coil spring to manage suspension movement as the wheel travels over changes in the road surface. Its function is to control repeated up-and-down motion of the suspension.
This listing replaces the rear damper assembly only. Actual ride symptoms can also be affected by springs, bushings, control arms, tires, alignment and other suspension components.
When should the rear shock be inspected?
A rear shock absorber may require inspection when the vehicle shows one or more of the following:
These symptoms can have more than one cause. A professional inspection should identify the failed component before purchase.
Why Choose This Rear Shock Assembly?
A bare damper body or used take-off part can leave questions about missing mounting components and previous wear. This replacement is supplied brand-new with the mounted upper bracket, dust boot and bushings already fitted. That reduces the number of listed components that must be transferred or sourced separately.
Designed as a replacement with reference to OE Part Number 1044461-02-C, this assembly provides a straightforward replacement option for either rear side when the VIN/application matches. It is sold as one unit, allowing the purchase quantity to follow the actual inspection and repair plan instead of forcing a pair.
